Grayish discharge with a fishy odor is a common symptom of bacterial vaginosis, which is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina. Chlamydia and gonorrhea may cause discharge, but typically it is described as yellow or green and is not typically foul-smelling. Genital warts may cause skin lesions, but they do not typically cause vaginal discharge.
